But does the distance really matter that much if the idea wih compulsory face masks help? (it's questionable how much homemade masks stop, though, if I'm not mistaken). The distance is afterall mainly a matter of fluids moving through the air from mouth and nose.

 

Experts have been saying distancing from each other is the number one precaution for quite a while now, masks - especially those homemade things - are nothing more than a relatively small addition to that, but definitely not a replacement.

Looks like Sint Maarten had a rough day...

New NR in yesterday,

 

49 Confirmed Cases. BUT 34 of them are a group of returning people who arrived yesterday from South Tirol 

it seems that it was their own decision, they decided to return home and arrived yesterday by cars in a sort of motorcade (150 people).

Remember, Our borders are closed, once they arrived our authorities (who got an echo) stopped them at the border from Austria and immediately tested them there (all 150 people) before placing them in state quarantine buildings. Result = 34 positives !!! (all are young people who were working in Southern Austria and Northern Italy in Restaurants, hotels and other similar facilities

I really start to question if the people abroad are normal, I mean, Hello, there a pendemic around ! your citizens are dying by hundreds per day ! )

 

 

The remaining 15 confirmed cases are from daily normal inside testing (1036 tests yesterday). 1 more case than yesterday, so yes, the freaking masks works. obviously it will not help if one person wear it, but it works very well when everybody is wearing them. period.

 

 

So 534 Confirmed Cases in Slovakia (+49 Yesterday !!!)

1 Death (+0), 8 Healed (+0),

The question is how correct it is, but worldometers added the number of tests recently.

From 1st April until yesterday it was 7094 in total (5 days) under the new regulation of massive testing of the population

 

Before the numbers were lower since we didn´t have many tests. the massive testing started around 26th March with 972 tests that day, before it was around 400 +/- in average per day.

 

In total it should be something around 16000 so far, first test was exactly 1 month ago the 6th March with 306 tests and 1st confirmed case (so-called pacient zero who returned from Venice)

And it is official. Curfew in   from 8th April (Wednesday) 00:00 to 13th April (Monday) 23:59.

 

 

the government approved restrictions of free movement of citizens from Wednesday 8th midnight to Monday 13th April 2020, 23:59.

The Cabinet adopted a resolution after special recommendations of a group of experts, which met on Sunday (5th April) in the afternoon.

However there will be some Exceptions:

 

like travel to and from work, quick basic shopping, necessary/urgent doctor visits, attendance at funeral of relatives, short stay in the nature/countryside but only within the district, or within Bratislava and Košice for people living in these cities.

The boundaries of the district or the territory of Bratislava and Košice must be respected also in the case of care of relatives or neighbors.

At the same time, the government prohibited during this aforementionedperiod the right of all assembly and gathering, with the only exception of persons living in the same household.

 

 

the police and the army will be involved in carrying out the commandments and keeping order. suburban buses and trains will not operate.

 

So basically, People can following the tradition of easter monday "throw water" on their mothers, wives, daughters but only in their own home if they live together in the same household
